Founder and the Executive Director of the Civil Awareness and Economic Empowerment Initiative (CAEI), Dr Gambo Bala Iggi, has weighed in on the controversies rocking the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry and related agencies.
He said most of the emanating faults can be attributed to lack of understanding of the concept, and poor operationalization of the original ideas.
He said the education and economic empowerment programmes of CAEI had gained traction with over 10,000 members in each State across the country.
Iggi, who is also the National Coordinator of the APC Advocacy and Appeasement Group, as well as the National Coordinator of Tinubu/Shettima Integrated Support Movement, said: “Everything about the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation is my Brainchild.
“I proposed it and gave the same to the Buhari Government as requested but the reward I got was being sidelined.
“I am confident that the positivity of all the Programs in that Ministry, essentially need CAEI idea initiator to translate the concept if the Government wishes to continue with the same Programs and Projects in order to reduce the growing Poverty condition in Nigeria. Or alternatively, they may resolve to pause the whole process for new policy ideas that suit them, but not the current N-Power, NSIPA, NIRSAL, and that Social Awareness Project I named “CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME'”.
